Good Day / Bad Day For CC1

[CC1]

I have been a bachelor this week as my wife is gone on a trip to Ms. and La. Things have been crazy work wise and I have not had as much time as I had hoped to get some things done and more importantly enjoy this beautiful 80 degree weather by riding my motorcycle a bunch.

Before my wife left she had an unrepairable flat on her car and I had to move up by three months a $607.00 tire purchase to right now. This just two days after I bought a laptop to use until I fix my cratered desktop.

Now to top matters off I miscalculated on my bank balance and just found out today that over the last two days a bunch of little piddily checks / check card purchases caused me to have overdrafts. My bank pays them but I still have to pay the overdraft fee of $35.00 per item and there are TEN of them for a total of $350.00. Arghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to be in the habit of looking at my account online every couple of days but have been so busy lately that I didn't look at it for the last two weeks or so and thought I was ok keeping a mental balance in my head.

Oh well, the weather is still great and I am definitley riding my motorcycle tomorrow for a good long ride!!!

The 607.00 I could live with, but that 350.00 - It makes me wince just to hear it!

You know, CC, I thought of you tonight as I fired up the grill. You would have enjoyed your bike ride up here for dinner.

Seriously, PM me your number. You and our ivory tickling friend need to bring your spouses up here so we can have a cookout and some fellowship.

Apply for overdraft protection. You will only pay the interest untill you deposit enough to cover the balance.

You will never have to pay an overdraft again.

I keep a ledger that my wife and I use for enture year.

I have 15 of the in a drawer from years past.

We never use a check book ledger.

We take out our amounts each night and it is in a central location we can both see each day.

There are sage guards you can put in place so you never have to worry about your balance...

a co-worker's husband's paycheck bounced today..... eeeekkkkkk!!!!

I'd hate to work for that company....

CC1, If you bank with AmSouth, I might be able to get the overdraft charges taken care of for you! I've got some friends in high places there!

Mrs. Pianoman might be interested if you can throw a golf game in there!
